Spindles and Looms

Spindles and Looms was a British textile factory which was located in the City of London section of London, England. It was a successful business, but it was notorious for keeping poor documentation, and its machines were known to run late into the evening or even through the night. The factory used child labor to man its machines, and the children were paid low wages in order to maximize the factory owners' profits. In 1868, Jacob Frye killed the factory's overseer and liberated the child workers, and the factory was reopened under law-abiding management.
